Citizens Rally for Peace: Support frontline forces amidst terrorist attacks

Amidst terrorist attacks on several townships in northern Shan State by armed insurgents, individuals advocating for a peaceful coexistence are expressing solidarity with the Tatmadawmen and members of the Myanmar Police Force serving on the front lines for national defense and security.

On the morning of November 11th, about 2,200 people from eight townships in the Union Territory gathered at the youth soccer field in Shwekyarpin Ward, Zabuthiri Township. Holding posters, they conducted a rally to condemn the actions of various terrorist armed insurgent groups, including the KIA, TNLA, MNDAA, AA, BPLA, and PDF.

These groups' activities have resulted in utter devastation in the country. The rally attendees expressed strong support for the frontline military personnel dedicated to safeguarding national defense and security. Additionally, on November 8th and 10th, peace advocates held rallies at the Manaw ground in Myitkyina, Kachin State, as well as on the streets of Mandalay, the entrance of Mandalay City, beside the Mandalay Moat, and near the Ayeyawady Bridge (Yadanapon).

During these gatherings, participants condemned the actions of terrorist armed insurgents, further emphasizing the collective desire for a peaceful living environment.
